/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “No one can force Azerbaijan to a compromise not
meeting the interests of the republic,” Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyarov stated.

In his words, the “stepwise settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
is the most optimal variant.”

“Resolving the problem by a stepwise principle, we will be given
back the territories around Nagorno Karabakh. After the return of
the refugees works for improvement of their living conditions will be
carried out,” Mammadyarov said. He also noted that fixing time for the
conflict settlement forecast by some diplomats in 2006 is incorrect,
